Absolutely love this memory foam topper! I purchased in 2013, it's now 2016 and topper shows no signs of breakdown, or wear. I did purchase an amazing cover to go with it to help keep topper in good shape. It came in a heavy medium sized box, once I took it out of the packaging, topper began to transform before my eyes. Didn't take long to come to size. There was a slight odor, but smell dissipated after a couple days. It is still a bit heavy to move around, and I will say it seems as though it's a little shorter than size ordered but you can't really tell (about 1 in or 1 1/2 in). You will definitely need deep sheets for this topper.
I like a soft bed, and it sure is perfect for me, like sleeping on a cloud. It contours to your body and reshapes almost immediately. I think I could put in on cement and still sleep great!! My boyfriend on the other hand prefers a firmer bed, so it took him a month or so to get used to sleeping on this when he moved in, he kept saying it was too soft and he was sinking in. He is an all position sleeper, but he began sleeping on his back more with this topper. At times he may sleep on his side, which I will say, may cause some back pain in the morning. Don't recommend for side or stomach sleepers. But he started to get better sleep and toss and turn less. He said he has gotten used to it and would like it a little firmer, but he admits he is sleeping better. Just remember this memory foam topper may get hot when sleeping, doesn't have gel infused cooling layer. Also with memory foam if it's cold it will seem hard, so in winter, the topper may seem hard at first but once your body warms it up, it contours to you. So I would highly recommend this topper if you are not quite ready to make a full commitment and purchase a memory foam bed yet. This is the next best thing!!!
